Get in touch with nature… with gardening is good for you!

Gardens are valuable spaces not only for us but a wealth of wildlife too. It’s estimated that the millions of gardens in Britain cover around 10 million acres – an area bigger than all the country’s nature reserves combined! Viewed from the air you can see how they link together into green corridors, providing wildlife with a range of habitats and the ability to move from one area to another to feed, breed, shelter and hibernate.

Every garden can be enriched to become a home for local birds and wildlife, planting flowering meadows for butterflies and insects, hedges for nesting birds, and blossom and blooms throughout the year to bring in bees, butterflies and insects.

So, this month get customers planting to create a wildlife-friendly garden and reap the benefits of surrounding themselves with nature, with support from the ‘Gardening is Good for You!’ campaign, supported by National Garden Gift Vouchers.
